TL;DR: The characteristics of French prehospital airway management differ significantly from those of other countries, and these differences may be explained by differences in approach to prehospital management rather than differences of skill.
Journal ArticleDOI
Should We Use Etomidate as an Induction Agent for Endotracheal Intubation in Patients With Septic Shock?: A Critical Appraisal
TL;DR: Etomidate is commonly used for the facilitation of endotracheal intubation as mentioned in this paper, but its potential to negatively impact corticosteroid production is well-documented, and considerable caution should accompany its administration in patients with evolving or established septic shock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adrenocortical Dysfunction Following Etomidate Induction in Emergency Department Patients
TL;DR: Use of etomidate in ED patients requiring RSI results in adrenocortical dysfunction, however, cortisol levels remain within normal laboratory levels during this period of dysfunction.

TL;DR: It is clear that trauma patients with acute respiratory system insufficiency commonly have critical injuries, may need tracheal intubation, and develop adverse clinical outcomes, however, there is substantial variation in injury severity, mortality rates, and frequency ofintubation.

TL;DR: Etomidate is cerebroprotective, with the ability to decrease intracranial pressure and maintain cerebral perfusion, making it an ideal agent for patients with head injuries and should be adopted for RSI in specific ED patient groups.

Systemic and pulmonary haemodynamic effects of somatostatin
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of thiopentone, etomidate and propofol on the haemodynamic response to tracheal intubation.
TL;DR: The haemodynamic response to tracheal intubation was compared in 303 patients in whom anaesthesia was induced with either thiopentone, etomidate or propofol, with and without fentanyl, and the use of fentanyl resulted in arterial pressures lower than those after the induction agent alone, and in an attentuation, but not abolition of the responses to largyngoscopy andintubation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excitatory effects and electroencephalographic correlation of etomidate, thiopental, methohexital, and propofol.
TL;DR: Perhaps caution should be exercised when administering etomidate to patients with a history of seizures as the myoclonic activity is associated with seizure activity, and the incidence of excitatory movements after administration of propofol is very low.

Cerebral blood flow and metabolism during etomidate anaesthesia in man
TL;DR: It was concluded that Etomidate is a potent cerebral metabolic depressant and the cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide was maintained under etomidate anaesthesia.
